It was fine in the morning, and cloudy in the late afternoon.

I got up early to see the sunrise but unfortunately I could not see it again.

After coming back I changed to kimono and visited three shrines and other places for stamp rally and left for Jingu kaikan.

After leaving the luggage I headed for Isuzugawa and had lunch.
